u know... me too I would like a name for the stadium like "Stadio Giovanni ed Umberto Agnelli", but we have to be realistic: Juve has not anymore the economic support of the Agnelli family and consequently of FIAT Group. Juve has imperatively the duty to raise new sources of revenues everywhere, or the alternative will be an inexorable decline.
Anyway there is a nice news: actually one of the Avenues around the Stadium is called “Grande Torino Avenue”, dedicated to the legendary team of the 40ies of Torino Calcio (the second team of Turin). But Juventus wanted to build there his central office and it would be certainly a contradiction to have the central office in “Grande Torino Avenue”!!!
So Juventus made a deal with the municipality of Turin and the Avenue will have the name “Giovanni and Umberto Agnelli Avenue”, that sounds great!!! (Grande Torino Avenue will be replaced near the old restructured stadium of Torino Calcio in the new Olympic Park)
hoping that Juve would not sell also tha naming rights of the Avenues...

second and more importantly, thats nice we'll have the avenues named after them, but it sounds awful having your stadium named after some big company. it sounds "american". here all the hockey arenas have names like "compaq center" "staples center" and so forth. i think we should have enough pride as a club not to sell out our stadium name to some big company just for some cash. soon we'll have to change our name to JuvenNIKEtus F.C.. there has to be some way to raise lots of money without sacrificing our clubs integrity?(sorry cant think of a good word for it at the moment
